i would like to recognize the department heads and elected officials. i know i've seen some of you here. thank you for coming out to support the fund workover our city employees. it is a privilege to me in particular to be here because i have had the opportunity for the last several years to be on the selection committee for the good government awards. it is really a treat. as a human-resources director, i get a lot of bad news. some of that gets in the newspaper. with all due respect to our brethren in the press, it's always a good story to write about bad behavior that may happen in a city department or that a public employee may have engaged in. we are the largest employer in san francisco. it is only natural as some of that bad behavior may fall on our doorsteps. it is refreshing to see some of the wonderful work people are doing, who really personify the ethos of san francisco. i want to celebrate that. on behalf of the mayor, thank you. please do your part to extend your appreciation to those people. it was a very difficult process. the community

we can continue to do so, with the help of the public and you all elected leaders i know by way of introduction to rachel hiatt will present an update that we have a leadership roundtable, all participated. as well as several board members; they noted that every day the planning commission, mta board, the commission, really do make policy decisions that implement san francisco's vision, and encourage us at the staff level but to us policymakers to engage and convene a local conversation about land-use and transportation. about how the decisions that you make on a daily basis can be mutually reinforcing, not only in terms of the outcomes that we produce so that we desire, but the mechanisms for achieving them. how do we get that affordable housing place? how do we get that below market rate, above the least affordable, and below the affordable market great? how do we use value capture tools? other delivery mechanisms for both the housing side and transportation side? that is an inspiring idea and we are happy to follow up if there is interest in something like that. i have spoken too long. this

i believe it should be delayed until after the election. this has been a political campaign and there has been a lot of misconduct to go around. i believe that the domestic violence advocates themselves are engaging in illegal conduct when they come and testify here. they are 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization and to give them tax exempt status they should not be advocating for or against any candidate for public office and they have had the gall to come here and say ross mirkarimi should not be sheriff and i believe is misconduct on their part. i think you should therefore seriously consider delaying deliver your report to the board of supervisors until after the election. thank you. >> my name is barbara tangari and i want to speak to the there is a cultural thing here and what you saw in the video, she was very emotional at that point. and you didn't take it as well, this is actual fact and blah blah. she is latina and i understand, because i happen to be half latina, born in honduras and i understand it very well. i hope i am not saying
